I found out I was pregnant my senior year of college. When I told my son's father (also a senior in college) he cried for weeks. He cried more often during my pregnancy than I did. Neither one of us were financially or emotionally prepared for a baby. His father pushed for abortion, even scheduling an appointment at…

The makeup bags are really cute! Glossybox's boxes are great, though. I save them all and use them to organize my makeup. I've also saved the boxes to put presents in. They're pretty and they're very sturdy.

I completely disagree. Rape means something extremely specific- penis in vagina. Sexual assault covers a gamut of things, but it doesn't specify exactly which horrible, devaluing act was perpetrated on the victim. The victim deserves privacy. And sexual assault gives the victim as much privacy over the grisly details…

It's a form of punishment that works best on your slutty teenager.

My grandmother: "Balance on your toes every night while you brush your teeth." She always had great butt/legs. She also wore panty hose with everything, even shorts, but that's a bit extreme.

I can actually help with the Filipino version of this, if you're interested. Maybe the ladies of Jezebel would like to know about the "kikay kits" we have filled with face wash and other things that make us look fresh-faced despite unrelenting humidity and the national obsession with skin-lightening treatments!

I was in an eleven-day induced coma due to liver failure and brain swelling caused by an overdose. I was *this close* to being pronounced dead (my parents had made funeral preparations and notified family). Somehow, and despite doctors' prognosis, things began to turn around and I made it. This was Christmas 2010…

The Amish are an interesting case. I actually have met several of them in the course of my theological studies and they are a fascinating bunch. They are, largely, not actually hostile to the "English" world - they just choose to remove themselves from it. But they overwhelmingly understand that the world is moving…

The word "female," in its primary usage, is an adjective. When you use "female" as a noun, the subject that you're referring to is erased. The Ghostbusters story used "female" before "Ghostbusters", which is entirely proper.

Same. I get the "you are SO tan what is your secret?" "Being birthed from a brown lady" is usually my response.

Ugh, whooping cough!! You poor thing!

I am SHOCKED at the number of people saying "don't ask." As a recently-married person with my own substantial inheritance account, I say you should absolutely ask. Ask how much, what he wants to use it for, and if you guys should get a prenup (especially if you are uncomfortable because you don't want to be greedy…

Every bit of your argument is complete and utter bullshit. If you're allergic to that many things, a restaurant is not a thing for you. But I'm guessing you're NOT allergic to that many things because let me tell you a tale, stranger friend:
